"Omg shocking news. Worked with him in Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi. Too young to go. May his soul rest in peace. God give strength to his family," she wrote.

In April 2014, Inder Kumar was arrested by the Versova police after a woman registered a FIR alleging that he had raped and assaulted her. He denied the allegations saying that he had a consensual relationship with the woman. Inder Kumar was later granted bail.

Inder is survived by daughter Khushi, whom he had with Sonal, and his second wife Pallavi. He was from Kolkata, but was born in Jaipur.
